The Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui Thailand is arguably the fanciest place to stay on the island. All 71 of the rooms are private villas, and each has its own private pool. Private Residence Villas add perks such as round-trip airport transfers and personal live-in attendants. The facilities are also unabashedly luxe, with multiple restaurants serving Thai and Mediterranean fare, a lovely main infinity pool looking out on the white-sand beach, and extensive wellness facilities, from a 24-hour gym to a spa offering all sorts of treatments and yoga classes. There are few other properties on the island that can compete with the Four Seasons. For beachfront luxury with lower rates, check out the Santiburi Beach Resort & Spa.
